Proprietary Medicines.

A visit to DR.. Green's Laboratory. at
Woodbury., NJ has considerably changed
our views. and especially our ~prejudlces
in regard to what are generally known as
STANDARD Patent Medicines" OF course
we are getting to that age in life when we
are forced TO conclude Life itself is q hum
bug, aud naturally distrust anythingthat
has not withstood long and tried expert
ences. Being a physician / had the curl
osity to know how such a sale of two
medical preparations could be sustained
for so many years. The perfect system
upOn which the business is conducted,
and the pharmaceutical arrangements
fer the manufacture of the w recipes
with which We We're made acquainted,
are sufficiently convincing to us that
the AUGUST FLOWER, for Dyspepsia, aud
Liver Complaints, and BosCHEE'S GER
MAN, for Throat and Lung Troubles, were
for the complaints they arerecommended,
most excellent remedies, and only regret
that in much of our practice. medical
ethics prevent us from prescribing them
without making the formulas public.
When we We're shown the great quantity
of voluntary letters having been forward
ed Dr.. Green, from all parts of the coun-
try, and from all classes of people, law
yers. ministers and doctors, giving a des-
cription of their ailments, testimonials Of
their cures, etc. I feel like endorsing DR..
Green's suggestion that the Government
accept such valuable formulas, and Ii
ceuse them for general use by giving pro-
lection to the inventor same as patents
generally. Copied from n. \. Druggists 0t

Poor Farmer.

"As there is nothing for me TO do

farmer. No other ever uses such

thing to do at home. Such a one
will neve find that farming pays.

hotel or saloon, than remain at home

ways be able to see something to be
done at home, no matter what the

he goes home, and finds something

Keeping Butter Sweet Il Year,

Every dairrman who is an expert
at his business has heard of Devon
shire cream and butter. The clouted
or thick cream is sold as a luxury
to be eaten with fruit or pies, or it
is made into butter which has had
the reputation of exceedingly long
keeping. In the journal Of the Bath
and West of English society, recent.
ly published, is an account Of this
cream aud butter and the value Of
the process in the dairying. There
is nothing new in it, but it recalls at
an opportune time a subject Of much
interest to da,rymen. The process
is as follows: The milk is set in
the ordinary way in shallow pans
for twelve hours. The pan is then
set in hot water or a steam bath for
twenty minutes. until the milk is hot
and the cream "crinkles," but is not
suffered to boil. (To be precise, the
temperature is 1870 degrees. but we
do not know that this is SO given in
any work on dairying). The pan is
theo returned to the dairy and re.
mains t%wenty.four hours for the
cream to rise completely. Whe cream
is then quite thick, and, if churned,
makes a very sweet butter which
keeps a year without change, the
heat having dissipated the volatile
oils which, by their decomposition,
produce rancidity. There is trouble,
of course, in doing all this, but there
is . compensation for the labor in
having butter which keeps sweet for
months.-New York Times.

W oaaan's Influence Upsa Mas.

It is better for you TO pass IN
evening once or twice a week in a
lady's drawing room, even though
the conversation is slow, and you
know the girls song by heart, than
in a club, q tavern, or the pit Of
theatre. All amnsemeats Of youth
to which virtuous women are not
admitted, rely Oh it, are deIeterious
in their nature. All nea who avoid
female society have dull perceptions
and are stupid, or have gross tastss

Poetry is uninspiring to a jockei;

talking with a well regulated, kind
Iy woman about her girl Fanny, or
her boy Frank, and like the eve,

great benefits a man may derive
from a woman's society, is that be IS
bound to be respectful to her. The
habit is of great good to your

education makes US the most eminent
~ selfish men in the world. We
fight for ourselves, we push Tor our

light our pipe and say we won't 60

1t is true that the longer a hog is
kept the greater the likelihood Of
loss from accident or disease, but so
far as loss from disease is concerned
tho risk is rendered more than pro.
portionately greater by vintering.
The change from green to dry, hard
food is favorable to the development
OF disease. The seventies Of the
weather are also apt to induce dis.
ease. Hogs on good pasture rarely
die of cholera. Swine plague nearly
